Truflie's Thoughts

With Horus you need to know a few things:

1. Horus's Sp2 when held down fully becomes unblockable and allows you to combo start, its also armoured but not hyper armoured. Meaning theirs more leeway. Be careful as iirc the hitbox can be a bit disjointed at times, or close to the user/lacking range, i don't remember which one. So you gotta time it carefully
2. Horus's Utility is surprisingly good. You can dash up into the air, then look somewhat down like when using an elytra, and glide down to cover large distances. You can also use it for a combo extender as it deals decent stun
3. Horus's Barrage is held, use this to tease combo breakers out of unwary opponents by keeping ur distance and keeping combo, for followups i believe barrage > m1 works, just be careful in case the projectiles miss
4. Creeping ice is goated, However you have to try and push/lure the opponent into the creeping ice, or keep the opponent still, otherwise the ice will miss. Its a very useful tool but you gotta use it well. Can also be used for combo extending. Horus's Ultimate is basically Creeping Ice+ and can often be used for combo starting / neutral / get off me tool if u need it
5. Horus's Sp1 and Cr Sp1 are great, use its Cr Sp1 for a more precise, launching back and accurate move, and use its default Sp1 for canceling opponents moves with more horizontal range. Then use its Heavy~Heavy followup for ice projectiles to apply pressure from a far if need be.
